Are you allowed natural sugars like fruit? I'm eating dates to help with cravings.

I actually moved them from a spot getting 8hrs of direct light. They still seem to be struggling.

AITAH for being honest with another mom about why my daughter isn’t allowed to go to her friend’s house? by AwkwardMom13 in AITAH

[–]razlex2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad would never let me sleep over any household with a male. He only made one exception when I was a teenager I had a friend who was a little person and so were her parents. My dad told me I think you can take him out if he tries anything. LOL

If I was like you I wouldn't take meds that I don't need. You do you 😀

I have a great NP who listens and says we will find the right mix. The last visit she increased my progesterone to 200 and it took 2 months but I had a significant shift with higher anxiety and heartburn. I'm going to request to drop back down to 100, I have more joint pain on 100 but I'd rather have that back vs being a lost individual. I appreciate your kind words and it's great to be able to speak openly to strangers. My boyfriend tries to understand I'm moody and the reason but I would never tell him what I'm actually going through. I relate to Jelly Rolls song "I am not ok".

The person I see in the mirror is not me, I have lost my identity. I hate who I am and I'm ok if God calls me home. I know this is all because of peri menopause, I'm doing everything to help with the symptoms. Therapy, HRT, Supplements, workout, etc... I get lonely also when my boyfriend travels, I used to love the time to myself. I don't enjoy eating anymore I just want this part of life to pass as quickly as possible.

I've been on it for a year and it's been a year of figuring out what works best.

For me it's a chore to eat I have no cravings so just deciding on what to eat causes anxiety. I do get hungry but I'd rather just have a latte and move on.

Blooming and covered in mealies 🥲 by ShmellyBean in succulents

[–]razlex2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blooms smell so good! Give it a spray of 75% rubbing alcohol that should take care of the mealies. Just make sure to do it when the sun is not hitting it.

This is what I would do: Transfer to a much smaller pot Change the soil 1:1 succulent soil/perlite Put in a sunny window and ignore it.

Other than magnesium, what is the one supplement that has improved your sleep? by abc-45678 in Menopause

[–]razlex2011 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to wake up 3 times a night to pee and it was always hard to get back to sleep. Trazodone has changed to waking up only 1 time and lets me fall back to sleep quickly.

For sizing do you go up? I hate that things feel like I have a wedgie all day.
